If you swap the stock rims for 4.5 or less backspaced rim. You might get rubbing on the trail if you disconnect your sway bars.

Running 285/70/17 on my 2012 unlimited with 1 3/4'' wheel spacers...looks perfect, no rubbing at all. However I havn't tried anything challenging...just some rocky washed out trails, unmaintained service roads and sand dunes.
